I'm working with a startup that regularly meets at MaRS. We're in the cafeteria; office space is a little too expensive to be realistic at this point. For me, the "buzz" is a big part of it. The fact that investors just happen to be in the neighbourhood. The fact that it's a good, central location right on the subway. There is a lot happening, including events that bring other entrepreneurs and investors to the same building. I'm not aware of having raised any money through MaRS, but I know MaRS nevertheless plays a big role in the startup scene in Toronto, and it's been a big part of my personal experience. This is a great investment for Canada, and it would be depressingly foolish to interfere with the good thing they have going.
